An Inch of Datong

The first time she saw him was in the autumn of the eleventh year of Daye. He had just returned from Yanmen Pass. The soles of his boots were still stained with the black soil of Gouzhu Mountain, and there were blood marks on the back of his hands from the bowstring. He was sixteen years old that year, and he had just made a decision that shocked everyone under the iron heel of the Turkic army. She didn't know what it meant at the time. She only remembered that later in Taiyuan, in a leaky ancestral hall, four young people lit up a lamp and finished reading "Li Yun". Not swearing. It is stating a fact. Later she found out—— The boy who said "change the route" in front of the Turkic army, The general who captured Dou Jiande alive at Hulao Pass, The King of Qin who killed his brother at Xuanwu Gate, The emperor who signed the alliance under the city at the Weishui River—— Every time he turned around, he looked back and saw her. That night on the Wei River, he said: "If I really lose, I will be the first foolish king in history who killed his brother, forced his father to abdicate, and gave the Central Plains to the Turks less than half a year after he took the throne." She said, "Then I am the Enchantress. Anyway, from Taiyuan to Chang'an, I never planned to go ashore alone." The author said: The blood is burning, and there is also the tragic feeling of living toward death.
